Virginia Giuffre, who publicly accused convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, has died by suicide.
The Western Australia Police Force tells TMZ officers responded to a call on Friday at 9:50 PM local time after a 41-year-old woman was located unresponsive at a residence in Neergabby.
Emergency first-aid was provided, but she could not be revived. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation into Giuffre’s death is ongoing, but police note circumstances are not suspicious.
Her family announced she took her own life in a statement to People Friday while praising her as a “fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”
As you know, Giuffre was one of the first people to come forward with abuse allegations against the late Epstein, claiming she was just 16 years old when his currently incarcerated conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, recruited her into a complex sex trafficking ring.
She claims she was forced to have sex with Epstein and others, including Prince Andrew. Giuffre and the disgraced British royal agreed to an out-of-court settlement in 2022 after she sued him for allegedly having sex with her three times when she was a minor.
